Ingredients
200 grams cashew nuts, unsalted (about 1.5 cups)
200 grams icing sugar, sifted, about one and one third cups + 2 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 to 3 tablespoons warm water, or as needed
edible food colors, as needed
Method
For the Marzipan dough: Grind the cashews to a fine powder, in batches. I ground 1.5 cups of cashew nuts in 3 batches, by pulsing them 8-10 times.
Sift it through a fine mesh sieve by pressing the powder with the back of a spoon.
Add icing sugar to the ground cashew nut powder and mix until well incorporated.
Add almond extract and 2-3 teaspoons of warm water. Mix well using a spatula.
Add more warm water, a teaspoon at a time, and bring the dough together using your hands. You will need about 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 ml) of warm water approximately.
Pro tip: Avoid kneading the dough with too much pressure as that can cause the cashews to release excess oil.
